Tee hee. Isn't it odd what searches lead to a blog?
It kind of reminds me of the Middle Ages belief that ducks were somehow fishes (because they sat on the water or something) and were therefore Lenten.
i'm eating vegan with no oil or sugar this lent. in the orthodox church, when you do no oil (I think you said greek orthodox abstain from oil), do you count things like tahina or peanut butter that naturally have oil in them?
Laurie--no, the no oil means no added oil. But we're not being that strict--we have been in the past, but this year what we're doing is just not having overt oily foods. I still use oil to saute onions and garlic and things like that, but I won't do fried potatoes or anything like that until the weekend.
Thats too funny!
Shellfish kinda tastes like chicken??!?
thanks for the clarification. and i forgot to add that what you expressed on your comment on my food ethics post sums up really well how i've come to think about food. here in Iran I have no problem eating small amounts of meat. i go to the butcher, and outside his shop the farmer is showing to sell the one cow or two or three chicken or sheep he raised free range. i see the butcher kill those animals as humanely as possible. Meat-buying here isn't for the queasy, but i think it's actually good that people know full well where their meat comes from. They tend to spread meat a lot further too, since it's not at artificially low prices. It's a treat, like in the family farm scenario you mentioned. In the States though it's a lot harder because we've standardized really unhealthy ways of producing/raising food.
